Incident at London Bridge
Sounds like a potential terror attack. Reports of explosion and gunfire. Reports of a truck running over people. Kind of chaotic at the moment but doesn't sound good.

At least one, possibly two, other locations with incidents as well.
(even the bbc seems conflicted whether one group of three attackers are the same or different people than the ones who exited the van)

The stabbing at Vauxhall is apparently not related to the two other incidents.

And the BBC Radio coverage seems to be clearer than what I read earlier, almost certainly that the market incident involved the same people in the van.

Sounds like an officer might have shot someone with a suicide vest before he was able to reach a crowd. If true that officer saved a lot of lives.

Also if all these reports turn out true, this looks to be a coordinated attack with multiple individuals. Not just a lone wolf.

Vests were fakes. Probably to make sure the police shot them instead of trying to arrest them.

If these "people" actually intended to make some kind of point and not just kill random humans, they would point their attacks toward the ones making the laws.

My thought was to stop stronger civilians from taking them down. If I see a guy with a knife killing people indiscriminately I would definitely try to stop him, if he has a gun or bomb strapped to him I am probably going to take off running. |
